hehe thanx! only the best for my baby!! and me of course, i`m becoming a *great* salad maker since having petrie! our dinner salads have become quite a creation.

i'm goin' over to Petrie's to eat from now on! (*me* not just iZ!) (*grin*)

: (iZ *LOVES* leafy greenz! his previous human (word used very loosely!) fed him *only* canned green beans + red sweet peppers!)

: Collards are the main part of his diet and are the only thing he will pitch a *fit* if they're not included *every* meal

: the rest is based on availability and what we got *last* week ...

: (the leafies are washed, dried and torn into iZ-size pieces and then mixed together in a giant bag for that weeks main salad)

: cilantro
: Lacinato Kale (aka dinosaur kale)
: Gai Lan ... a Chinese leafy brocolli
: Amaranth (leafy stuff)
: Rapini (more leafy stuff)
: celery leaves (+ some stalk sliced in strips)
: swiss chard (sometimes)
: watercress
: dandelion greenz (YUM!)
: (will *NOT* eat mustard greens, turnip greens or 'regular' kale!)

: these are washed/sliced + mixed up into another container and are added to the main salad for supper:
: green onions
: green beans (he likes canned better than fresh tho!!!)
: brocolli flowerettes sliced thin
: sweet potato (sliced very thin)
: sweet pepper (yellow or orange, don't like red ... cut in thin strips)
: zucinni (sp?) (thin slices)
: yellow squash (thin slices)

: he gets fruit with his supper meal ... (shhhh! his vitamins are hiding in it!) his FAV. is *Oranges* and if i go more than 2-3 days without putting some orange sections on top of the salad i am in *b*ig* trouble! he likes kiwis too, and diff. melons ...

: i pile it all on a plate and microwave it for 10-15 secs cuz he likes it better that way *grin*

: he doesn't get a calcium supplement but he does get vitamin supplement every day with his supper ... a small sprinkle of crushed Centrum on his fruit .... (shhhh!)

: he eats as much as he wants, twice a day (he'd probably eat at noon too if i was here to fix a fresh salad!) ... hubby takes me to work and then comes back home and feeds the dragon + turns on his lights, etc. about 7am ... i get home about 4pm and bring the dragon downstairs to use the tub, have supper and be 'social' til bedtime ...
: if we're in an 'orange' mood, all bets are off .... hehehe

: that help any???
: : P + : )
